The Great Wall

Happy Monday !!

Next up on blog is a travel post and as the title suggests it is none other than one of the seven wonders of the world The Great Wall of China. This wonder needs no introduction as we all know it is one of the longest walls built along the northern borders of China in bits and pieces way back in the 7th century Bc. Later those walls was joined together to be more stronger and bigger and collectively now it is known as The great Wall of China.

Let's not go too deep into history and just take a moment to appreciate this wonder. A group of friends and I went to the Mutianyu section of the Wall which is almost an hours drive from the Beijing International Airport. Upon reaching Mutianyu there were cable cars to take us up in the hills to the wall. I must tell you the ride was a breathtaking one. Once we reached the hills there was a stair of like 10 to 12 steps that leads you to the wall. From that point the real experience begun. As we walked up the stairs, we were standing on the Wall that I had been wanting to visit from a very long time and finally this was the time that I made it. I couldn't believe how in those days these people had managed to built a wall as huge and as concrete as this up in the hills. I mean just compare today's age and technology to that era when they had manually stood this wonder up. Simply unbelievable.
We had decided to walk towards our left through the watch towers to one of the highest points covering almost a kilometer. As you may see in the pictures this walk to and fro was definitely an adventurous one and a Walk to Remember for a lifetime.

The weather now in Beijing is very pleasant with temperature anywhere between 21 - 31C but with occasional rains. We were lucky enough it was a bright sunny day. Hence I wanted to be comfortable with my outfit and sported these dressy shorts that I got from my last trip to Korea with a printed crop top and a pair of shoes from Primark.

Hope you like this travel post and will come up with more in the coming days as my ever so wandering soul hauls in the next destination.




Until next time ..... keep it stylish....keep it functional

Lots of Love

Fall Official

Hoodies, Hot Chocolate, Jeans, Boots, Crisp Air, Cuddling and Flushed Cheeks...I am ready for Autumn.
unknown.

I can relate so much to each and every word in the quote above that I can tell u stories coming out of each them. Stories that have Nostalgia in it. I am not sure if it happens to everyone, but I can smell those falling dry leaves in the Crisp Air of Autumn. Even though I don't live in my parents house for the past twelve years now, I can still see my father gathering those dry leaves in the fall mornings that had fallen from our trees and burn them, bidding them Goodbye and thanking them for the past season. This has been the greatest significance of Fall in my life. Every season fades away in time but the memories they carry along, remain forever and becomes a part of you. 


Nevertheless, let's embrace this lovely season with lots of Warmth, Fall Trends and Fashion. I love wearing Ankle Booties and Boots. But just that the weather is still little warmer, I thought of going flowy with my clothes and hence paired my black Ankle booties with this super comfy Maxi skirt in grey colour and an over-sized relaxed-fit black satin embossed Boxy-Crop Top. To maintain that Monochrome I went for black accessories to complete the look. Deep darker colours are really appropriate in this season and hence popped a wine coloured lipstick on to rock the finished look.





As the fall evenings gets little pleasant, I like to grab my Cup of Joe with my significant other(brewed by him), sit on the terrace, cuddle up and talk our hearts out.

Thank You for stopping by and reading my little Fall Official story. Hope you liked it and wish to see you back again on this page.

Signing off for today and until the next time keep it Stylish....keep it Functional.
